CAS-ual Make It Monday #101: Layered Embossing

I've been playing around with Heather Nichol's challenge to layer embossed images in the Make it Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink - you can check out her tutorial here.

I tried a few different stamp sets, but somehow came back to the same Framed Out #11 stamp set that Heather used, although the details of the large heart were lost with the gold glitter embossing.

I alternated the white and gold embossed hearts, finishing with a small open heart from the With All My Heart stamp set.

I wasn't loving the image when I was done stamping and embossing - the Hibiscus Burst cardstock seemed to overwhelm everything. I fussy cut around the edge of the hearts - questioning my sanity halfway through - and ended up very happy with the final card.

About Me

In addition to my passion for paper crafting, I love to cook, garden (except the weeding part), read and occasionally binge watch Netflix. My other big passion is volunteering as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) in San Diego County through Voices for Children.
